Crush injuries can escalate quickly. Managing them well depends on clear roles, the right equipment and a practised response. This briefing card gives crews and vessel leaders a practical guide to first actions, casualty assessment, communications, monitoring, Medevac decisions and post-incident support. The guide helps teams respond calmly and confidently when minutes matter. Read it with your crew, use it to test your onboard procedures and drills.
Remember, you always have the right to put your own safety and the safety of others first.
If it looks unsafe, stop. Small actions can prevent great harm.
If you have concerns or want to share lessons learned you can do that confidentially through CHIRP, so others can benefit too.
